CFB Hall of Fame revisited

I won't leave this one alone, although judging by the mere handful of comments in reply to previous posts nobody else really cares.  I've got my eye towards the future looking back on the present, I guess, and thus am intrigued by current perspective on future CFB Hall of Fame nominees.

Here are the candidates our readers and CFR came up with so far-

Jason White-Oklahoma quarterback
Cedric Benson-Texas back
Mike Williams-USC receiver
David Greene-Georgia quarterback
Anthony Davis-Wisconsin back
Darren Sproles-Kansas State back
Mike Patterson-USC defensive tackle
Derrick Johnson-Texas linebacker
David Pollack-Georgia defensive end
Lou Holtz-Coach at a handful of programs

Below, you'll find other intriguing candidates that I culled from this year's draft.  Obviously we'll miss a few more guys who went undrafted.

Braylon Edwards-Michigan receiver
Mike Nugent-Ohio State kicker

Who among these years deserves to be in the CFB Hall of Fame? 

Earlier I said around ten players (in theory) should make the hall.  Last year as with previous years, the Hall selected well over ten players, but they drew them from a variety of years and I don't really have any data yet on how many players are selected per graduating year historically.

One issue was in discerning the contribution of players from smaller schools.  Is a Dante Ridgeway Hall of Fame material for his success, but do we neglect Mark Clayton in the process?

What you'll always miss like this is offensive linemen. I'm a football junkie and I love Xs and Os and I'll admit that I can't give you an informed opinion on any o-lineman that didn't play for or against Michigan. You just can't judge linemen watching TV coverage.
